Five on Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day, friends!  Another three day weekend is upon us--praise the Lord!  Linking up  for my favorite post of the week!


{one} I think it's amazing that Natasha, April, Darci and Christina have challenged us to make this our first pic.  I hope this brings a lot of awareness to Menkes Syndrome.  Here's to sweet Teddy!



{two} Instead of going out and dealing with the crowds tonight, we'll be staying in for a snazzy dinner at home.  It's something we've done for the last few years.  It's kind of our thang.

On the menu: 
Filets with Blue Cheese Onion Sauce {thank you, from the bottom of my heart, Ree Drummond.}
Roasted Asparagus 
Garlic Mashed Potatoes.

{three}  My coworkers will be on the receiving end of Dark Chocolate Fudge Cupcakes with Homemade Cream Cheese Frosting today.  I stashed a few away for our dessert tonight...anddddd we may have tested a few last night too...


{four} This sweet pup just turned 7!  Where has time gone?!  It seems like only yesterday that I was waking up in Radford with a hangover to this tiny pup biting my nose.  Literally, the thought brings tears to my eyes.  Maybe because I sometimes miss college, or miss Iz being so tiny, OR because it amazes me we both made it out of Radford alive...



{five} I jumped on the Waterlogue bandwagon.  I spent more than half of the workday on Thursday turning every picture on my phone into a watercolor.  My favorite?  A picture of our house the day we closed!  It always looks so pretty in the spring!  



Speaking of spring....where are youuuuu?!?!  Happy Valentines Day!
